This post ended up being delayed by a change of lightbox midway through- you should see the changes

Back in the 80s, the minibots were packaged in blister-packs- that is to say, a molded clear plastic "blister" on cardboard backing with artwork a lot like THIS:

Minibots and Deluxes are sold now in a more secure variation of blister packaging

They were cool, they were the least expensive, and they were fond memory makers. over time, some of these characters were remade, some countless times, and some got bigger. They evolved, they transformed(yep, said it)

Recently Hasbro gave some of the old minibots some love, and is still doing it. so I thought I would show some of what is out there from Hasbro and others

At first I thought...well, I've done this. then I thought, well yes, but it could use an update, there is new stuff, and rearranged stuff, and so forth

So here are the most significant shelves in my office

The Masterpieces:
the TFWiki Defines a masterpiece transformer as: "a toyline of collector-focused toys that are mostly based upon characters from the Generation 1 cartoon, but manufactured with today's advanced engineering techniques. As a line aimed towards collectors, Masterpiece Transformers tend to be very expensive."

Primordial Badger agrees with that, but adds that there are third party transforming toys of a certain scale and level of engineering that deserve a spot up on that shelf too

The Movies I grab most often, along with my favorite Binge watching seasons

(at this point in the narrative, my photography partner branched off onto his own shelf)
